Terremoto 4.2
Perdón por el retraso.
Creo que ya comenté en otro post que mi escuela se trasladaba este semestre a un nuevo edificio. Se trata del centro comercial más grande de la ciudad y la verdad, toda una experiencia nueva tener clases y trabajar a diario dentro de un centro comercial de tal calibre.
La cuestión es que el metro pasa por debajo nuestro de manera que hasta el centro en cuestión tiene su propia parada. Es decir, no hace falta que uno salga a la calle para acceder al edificio, sino que mediante uno de los túneles subterráneos tenemos acceso directo al centro comercial. Hay ciertas áreas del edificio, en especial donde se alberga mi clase de los jueves, que vibra cada vez que pasa uno de los trenes (y eso que estamos en la sexta planta). Es curioso porque cuando en esta zona del país vibra cualquier cosa, a mí se me ponen los pelos de punta, más que nada porque vivo constantemente bajo la atenta mirada de la falla de San Andrés.
Pues bien, hoy estábamos tan tranquilos en clase cuando ha vibrado el edificio... pero de qué manera señores...! Inmediatamente todos nos hemos mirado y hemos asentido "esto es un terremoto".
Efectivamente es el segundo terremoto que noto desde que vivo en este país. Paradójicamente el primero fue de 5.3 en la escala de Richter pero me atrevería a decir que éste ha sido más fuerte.
Supongo que todo depende del lugar donde estés o las circunstancias en las que te encuentres.
La verdad es que siempre me he preguntado cómo sería vivir sobre una falla tectónica y ahora que lo estoy experimentando, es algo difícil de asumir. Es como que todo el mundo es consciente pero que nadie quiere reconocerlo.

Sorry for the delay.
I think I've already told you about my school moving to another location. We are in the newest and hugest mall in the city. This is a whole new experience, to be able to study and work in an everyday basis in a mall like that.
The metro goes right below the building, so we don't need to go out to the street to enter, we have our own corridor that communicates the underground with the mall. There are certain areas in the building, as my Thursday's classroom where we can feel the vibrations every time a train passes through (and we are in the 6th floor). And it's curious how I feel every time I feel those vibrations, coming from this area of the country, living permanently above the Sant Andreas Fault.
Today we were at class when we felt this "shake room" thing, not normal at all and we realized that it was an earthquake. Yes, it was my second hearthquake since I'm here and even thought my first one was a 5.3 in the Richter scale, I have to tell I've felt this one stronger.
The truth it's I've always wondered how would be to live above to a geological fault and now that I'm living on it, I think it's hard to assume.

It's like everybody is conscient about this but nobody wants to recognize it.

La ciudad sabe como mantener alto el nivel de emocion de la gente. Menos mal que fue solo un susto. My best wishes to you.
